Study Notes
Energy Equivalence
- The equivalent energy of 0.1kg of Mars can be calculated using Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2, where E is energy, m is mass, and c is the speed of light.
- The energy of 0.1kg of Mars is significantly higher than 5.97 x 10^24 J
- The energy represented by the equivalent energy of 0.1 kg of Mars is rest energy, which is the energy an object possesses due to its mass.
- The equivalent energy of 0.1 kg of Mars is so high because the speed of light (c) is a very large number, and the energy is proportional to the square of the speed of light.
